This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Latina Candidates for #CD34? The Potential List is Growing

On the heals of Community Activist Wendy Carrillo becoming the third (and first Latina) candidate to announce their intentions to seek the 34th Congressional District Seat, speculation (with substance) is rampant that former CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar Downtown Staffer and Special Counsel Sara Hernandez will be the second Latina to enter the Race.

** Blogger's Note: As we near the mid-week point after California Governor Jerry Brown's SURPRISE selection of 34th Congressional District Officeholder Xavier Becerra as his choice to replace Senator-elect Kamala Harris as Attorney General, the potential list of candidate to replace the once 2001 Mayoral Aspirant continues to grow.

"Together, we can build a campaign about the possibilities of what can be and what should be," Carrillo said in a statement. "I’m choosing to run because I want a seat at the table to advocate for the people who need it most. Public service is a privilege, not a game of musical chairs. I plan to put the people first.”

In the short time since announcing her intentions, Candidate Carrillo's Facebook Page has garnered 500 plus "Likes" and is show signs of organized outreach ........., but her moment as the so-far, lone Latina Candidate may be fleeting.
According to "Social Media Chatter" , former CD-14 City Councilman Jose Huizar Staffer.Special Counsel Sara Hernandez, is raising money and initiating "cyber protocols" for her own campaign as noted below.

If true, the now CORO Southern California Executive Director will have the cash needed to grow her name recognition ............, but her ties to the controversial CD-14 Officeholder, may (and will) be exploited by the other candidates-----Scott Johnson.
